MORE INFO

tHE CAMPSITE

All of our tour packages stay at the El MOLINO campsite. We are lucky enough to use this excellent site located on the banks of a river and below the village of Mendigorria. This campsite has easily the best facilities and atmosphere of all those used by any of the other tour companies. El Molino is a short 25-minute bus ride from the centre of the town and we provide free shuttles in and out of Pamplona for all our passengers during the festival period, with the last shuttles departing town at midnight. The campsite has a swimming pool, football fields, a very lively bar (indoor and outdoor) open until late as well as a chill-out bar by the river, restaurant, camp shop and is just a five minute walk from Mendigorria, which is itself typical of villages in the region with its cobbled streets, old church and small friendly bars. There are also lots of showers and toilets throughout the campsite which are serviced by a 24hour cleaning crew. At El Molino there are bunk beds in the dormitories, or pre-erected dome tents (bring a sleeping mat) and for both, you will require a sleeping bag. For those wanting the campsite party but with a little luxury, all passengers are given the opportunity to upgrade to bungalow accommodation.

THE COACH

All coaches that we use for the Pamplona tours are executive models with toilets, videos/DVD players and stereos. We make regular refreshment and toilet stops and have two drivers and a tour leader per coach to look after your needs. The total travelling time to Pamplona is approx. 22 hours including the ferry crossing. Drinking is permitted on the coaches so please feel free to BYO, but we do ask that you respect your fellow travellers and the coach. During the festival period we operate a regular, free shuttle service between Pamplona to the campsite for our tour passengers. The first shuttles of the day go out in time for the opening ceremony and bull runs, with the last returning at midnight after the fireworks that mark the end of the day's official program.
